When someone brings up the concept of deserving, what do you think of? Do you think of when you were little and your parents punished you and said you deserved that? Or do you think of when you had won a prize and someone told you that you had deserved it? Well, all around the expression to deserve ones fate means to do something or have or show qualities worthy of fate, in this case. For example in the story “Interlopers” the two men have a fate that concludes the story, whether or not they deserve it is a negotiable subject. As a reader, one could decide that they did deserve their fate of which they both die the same way, wolves. In “The Interlopers” the two men, Ulrich and Georg deserve their fate at the end of the story because; they were originally there hunting each other, they bickered quite a bit after the tree had fallen and showed their hate, once one had realized that there was about a fifty/fifty chance for life they decided to make an effort to be friends again.

To start, the two men in the story of “The Interlopers” deserved their fate because they were originally out hunting for one another. The story says that Ulrich had said, “I’m caught in my own forest land,” Therefore, Georg was hunting for him in Ulrich’s forest. If you step back and look at the details, you see that Georg wasn’t the brightest coming into his forest to kill. Much less even going to kill. Then again, the two households has a very large feud between them for what seemed like a long time. Considering that it was very strong and appeared to be carried over from past generations. Again, being in your enemy’s forest is all around an idiotic move. Knowing that they have as much back up needed on hand right there. So if they hear a gunshot, there...

...rst, then the other would have most likely died even with the vow to be friends again. Therefore, the ending of the wolves finding them made it equal, so they did deserve their fate.

In conclusion in “The Interlopers” the two men, Ulrich and Georg deserve their fate at the end of the story because; they were originally there hunting each other, they bickered quite a bit after the tree had fallen and showed their hate, once one had realized that there was about a fifty/fifty chance for life they decided to make an effort to be friends again. First, the men had originally came to hunt one another and ended up both dying, it’s only fair. Also they had been very hateful and rude to each other and then had the audacity to be friend again. This is something that is wrong, they are only worried about their safety. Obviously, the men deserved their fate of wolves dinner.

    ...s. When justice reigns in man's soul, he is a happy man and rules over his soul like a good ruler rules over a society. When injustice reigns in his soul, he is an unhappy man, just as men under an unjust ruler are unhappy. Injustice always brings bondage, so the man who lives in injustice is in bondage either to his own failings or to an evil society. Whether the just man receives extra rewards beyond the happiness of living in a just soul is beside the point. His soul is his world, and if it is a just one, it is a happy place to live.

  • The Butcher's Tale Sparknotes

    1561 Words  | 4 Pages

    Tragically, the butchered upper-torso of Winter’s once-robust body was stumbled upon by his father, who had noticed the absence of his son since Sunday, March 11 (Smith 2002, 25-26). Unsurprisingly, an investigation occurred to obtain the identity and whereabouts of the murderer. When the various pieces of the body are found in differing areas of the town, theory begins to formulate that the murder was conducted by one of the two butchers in town; Adolph Lewy, a Jew, and Gustav Hoffman, a Christian, due to the precision of the cuts made upon Winter’s body (Smith 28). As fragile relations between Konitz-residing Christians and Jews increasingly began to deteriorate, rumors and speculation that Winter had fallen victim to ritual murder by local Jews, set the ball in motion for a virulent anti-Semitic nature characteristic of Imperial Germany.

Wolves are vicious when threatened, as most living creatures are through natural instinct, but this doesn’t give the right to blame the wolves for situations that weren’t legitimately caused by them. In the end, the wolves are the ones who end up suffering, as they are killed for rewards and the humans don’t want to take responsibilities for their own infamous actions. It truly is unfair, as by the time the wolf is rightly understood, the greater portion of the wolf population collectively just may possibly be extinct.

    The truth is the battle is about far more than wolves; it is about a lack of discussion and understanding between two entities, both with strong convictions about what is right - for themselves, their families, their communities, and for the wolves. Considering the battle fought over one Wolf and Coyote Derby, that conversation is nowhere near happening.

    ...cting unjustly. Therefore, justice is determined to be intrinsically valuable from the negative intrinsic value of injustice that was demonstrated, as well as from parts of the soul working together correctly. Glaucon also wants Plato to show that a just life is better than an unjust life. It has been shown that when the soul is in harmony, it only acts justly. It is in a person’s best interests to have a healthy soul, which is a just soul, so that the person can be truly happy. This means that by showing justice has an intrinsic value, it can also be concluded that it is better to live a just life opposed to an unjust life. The conclusion that I have drawn is that Plato’s argument against the intrinsic value of injustice is sufficient to prove that the just life is superior, even if the unjust life may be more profitable.

    ...een the werewolf and the wolfman. Both are murderous beasts, but the motives behind their actions are different. Werewolves attack to maim, kill, and gain strength. They also attack for the joy of being splashed with blood. Wolfmen, on the other hand, are more benign, still attacking when provoked, but not stalking and planning kills, they can be subdued by music and love. This writer concludes that, given the choice, Reverend Lowe and Sir John would choose to be a werewolf if given the option, they enjoy the killing and the power. Conversely, Lawerence would freely choose to live without the curse of changing into the wolfman because he did not choose this life. A werewolf will always choose death and a wolfman will always choose life.

People possess a natural desire to fit in and often are willing to forego individuality in order to do so. Though one may gain a facade of happiness as a result of fitting in, being truthful to oneself and expressing one’s free will allows for honest expression of individuality, a concept much greater than such a facade. A society without unique individuals is a society without humanity, and, as demonstrated through these characters’ experience, does not function. Ultimately, people must realize that individuality, knowledge, and raw emotion is more important to society than superficial happiness.

    Two human relationships were deeply significant to the Germanic society.  The most important, the relationship between the warrior and his lord was based on a common trust and respect.  The warrior vows loyalty to his lord and serves and defends him and in turn the lord takes care of the warrior and rewards him lavishly for his valour.  The second human relationship was between kinsmen.  As Baker and Ogilvy suggest, a special form of loyalty was involved in the blood feud. (P.107)  If one of his kinsmen had been slain, a man had an ethical obligation either to kill the slayer or to exact the payment of wergild in compensation.  The price was determined upon the rank or social status of the victim...

    Two men, Henry and Bill go sledding with six dogs. Each night they camp in the merciless wilderness, a dog is killed by a wolf pack. The wolves come closer to camp every night, until there are three dogs left. One of the wolves is different and bigger then the rest, a she-wolf, who’s use to people and afraid of guns. One day the men’s sled overturned and got caught up in trees. They had to untie the dogs to fix things. One of the dogs saw the she-wolf and took off after her, only to be ambushed by a dozen wolves. The dog ran for his life, while Bill went with his gun to save him. Bill and the dog both became a meal to the wolves. A couple of nights later, so did the rest of the dogs. The only thing that saved Henry was sheltering in the middle of a fire he’d made. By the time the fire had died, other men came with sled dogs to his rescue.

  • Nietzsche’s Argument of Justice: The Debtor/Creditor Relationship

    1310 Words  | 3 Pages

    The system of justice that Nietzsche employs although somewhat cynical has a substantial amount of merit as a form of justice, which is present in our society. This is demonstrated through the depiction of the creditor/debtor relationship that exists in our democratic societies, and the equalization process that occurs, and furthermore that Nietzsche is correct to assess justice as such a principle. The issue is most obvious in the penal system; however it is also prevalent in personal day-to-day relationships as well as political structures.

  • The Company Of Wolf Analysis

    For the characters in Angela Carter's “The Company of Wolves,” danger lurks in the the grey areas, the ambiguous spaces between opposites. The plethora of socially constructed binaries—male and female, passive and active, innocence and maturity, civilization and wilderness, man and wolf—have the ability to be harmful and restrictive, but perhaps more worryingly, they create an ill-defined middle ground between where the rules are vague and fluid, which allows for dishonesty and deception, and Carter foregrounds the resultant proliferation of untruths as the real peril. One vehicle for clear and honest communication, however, is the narrator's changing characterization of the
